2014 Allocation information
What do You Need to Consider?
Published Admission Number (PAN)
The tables called ‘Primary Preference Data’ and
‘Breakdown of Allocations - Oversubscription Criteria’
provide information about primary schools in Cheshire
East, including the names and addresses, contact details,
age range of pupils in the school and the number of
places available for September 2015 (shown on the table
as the PAN – the published admission number).
This is the number of places available for September
in reception. Places will be allocated up to the PAN
assuming sufficient applications are received. In some
cases it may be necessary to allocate over the PAN.
Please refer to the Applying for School Places booklet for
more information about published admission numbers.
The information includes the number of preferences
(applications) that were received for each school
and the number of places allocated based on the
oversubscription criteria. These relate to September 2014
admissions and the information is provided to help
you estimate the likelihood of success with your
application. It is important to remember that this is only
an indication and does not guarantee admission to any
particular school.
You are invited to express three preferences in ranked
order with your preferred school as your first preference
and two other schools in order of choice as your second
and third preferences. Once all preferences (applications)
have been considered by the relevant admission
authority against it’s published oversubscription criteria,
the Local Authority will notify you of the school place
offered, which will be a single offer and will be for the
highest preference that you can be offered from all your
preferences. This may not be your first preference. You
will have a right of appeal to an independent appeals
panel for any schools where a preference (application)
was unsuccessful.
If none of your preferred schools can be offered we will
offer you a place at the nearest school with a vacancy
(Cheshire East residents only). The following explains the
definitions for the data held in the tables.
Anticipated Number for 2015
This data will give you an idea of the size of the school
for September 2015. This includes the number on roll in
2014 and projections based on the PAN and the history
of applications. This is only provided as a guide and does
not represent the actual number of children that will be
on roll in September 2015.
Number of Preferences Received
This is the number of applications received for a place in
the reception class at the school. These are broken down
into ranking (i.e. 1st, 2nd and 3rd preference). There is
also a column showing ‘other’ preferences, this refers to
any late applications received before offers are made and
lower preferences from other local authorities. Please
bear in mind that all preferences are considered equally
and therefore places can be offered to parents who
have included a school as a lower ranked preference but
who have a higher priority within the oversubscription
criteria and have been unsuccessful with a higher ranked
preference. Please refer to the information about ‘late
applications’ contained within our booklet entitled
Applying for School Places – Cheshire East guide for parents
2015-16.
Oversubscription Criteria
If the school receives more applications than it has
places available, the oversubscription criteria will be used
to determine which applications have priority for the
limited number of school places.
We have included information about how many offers
were made within each criterion to help you make
an informed choice about your preferences before
completing your application. It is important to consider
any changes to the oversubscription criteria agreed for
2015 as shown.

2014 Allocation information
Placed by LA (Local Authority)
In cases where we are unable to offer any of the
preferences included on the application form, for our
residents we make an offer of the ‘nearest school with
a vacancy’. This process is implemented after we have
considered all preferences and is shown on the table as
‘Placed by LA’. This is to ensure that no Cheshire East child
for whom we have received an application is without
a school place for September. Parents can accept or
decline this offer and have a legal right of appeal in
respect of any of their unsuccessful preferences. We
also operate a waiting list process and more information
about this is included in our Applying for School
Places booklet.
Furthest Distance
This is the straight line distance measurement in miles
from the home address to the school and shows the
furthest distance that was used to allocate a school
place under the lowest criterion used. Parents of children
within the same criterion but living further away from
the school were unsuccessful with their preference.
In such circumstances, requests can be made to add
children to a school’s waiting list and parents have
a legal right of appeal to an independent panel.
Please refer to the Applying for School Places booklet for
more information.
Please remember that you can express three school
preferences. Please refer to our Applying for School Places
booklet for more information about ‘equal preferences’.
3. If any school has consulted on their Admission
Arrangements for 2015-16 , then the oversubscription
criteria may have changed. Please ensure you check the
relevant school if you wish to choose it as a preference.
4. If you have a low priority (within the oversubscription
criteria) for admission to your preferred school/s, you
need to bear in mind that your application may be
unsuccessful. You will have a statutory right of appeal
if this is the case.
5. Now you need to complete your application form,
which you can do online at www.cheshireeast.gov.uk
Alternatively, please ring us on 0300 123 5012.
6. Please remember to apply by the closing date to
avoid disadvantage and disappointment.

Summary
1. First consider how many applications were received
for your preferred school/s in the Primary Preference
Data section that follows. Using last year’s applications
as a guide, are your preferred schools likely to be
oversubscribed?
2. Compare this with how the places were offered in the
‘Breakdown of Allocations - Oversubscription Criteria’
data on the following pages. For example, if your family
are resident in the school’s ‘catchment area’, were all
applications within this criterion successful last year?
If not, what was the furthest distance used to offer
places? This will give you an indication of the likelihood
of success with your preference – it is important to
remember that this is no guarantee as the pattern
of parental preference can change from year to year.

Admission arrangements 2015-16
Oversubscription criteria – community and voluntary controlled schools
The oversubscription criteria will be used to determine
which preferences have priority for admission.
The oversubscription criteria for Community and
Voluntary Controlled schools, i.e. those for which the
Local Authority is the admissions authority are as
follows
1. ‘Cared for Children’ and Children who were
Previously ‘Cared for’. A ‘cared for child’ is a child
who is in the care of a local authority or provided with
accommodation by that local authority (as defined in
section 22 of the Children Act 1989). Children previously
‘cared for’ are children who were ‘cared for’ as defined
above, but immediately after being ‘cared for’ became
subject to an adoption, child arrangements order
(formerly residence order) or special guardianship
order. A child arrangement order is an order settling
the arrangements to be made as to the person with
whom the child is to live under section 8 of the Children
Act 1989 amended by Children and Families Act 2014.
Section 14A of the Children Act 1989 defines a ‘special
guardianship order’ as an order appointing one or more
individuals to be a child’s special guardian (or special
guardians).
3. Children resident within the designated
catchment area of the school. Children will be classed
within this criterion if they and their parents are resident
within the area served by the school.
4. Children not resident within a school’s
designated catchment area but attending a school
nominated as a feeder/partner primary school for
admissions purposes. (secondary only)
5. Pupils living nearest to the school measured
using an Ordnance Survey address-point system which
measures straight line distances in miles from the
address point of the school to the address point of the
place of residence.
2. Siblings – pupils with brothers or sisters, step
brothers or step-sisters, foster brothers or foster sisters,
half-brothers or half-sisters, adopted brothers or adopted
sisters living together as part of one household, already
attending the preferred school (in years Reception
through to Year 5) and expected to continue at the
school in the following school year. (i.e. at the time
of admission).
30
Notes:
Distance measurements: exceptionally, where residency
addresses are outside the UK and Ordnance Survey
system cannot be used as a measurement, then
www.gridreferencefinder.com will be used to plot
latitude and longitude points and calculate straight
line distance.
Where a school cannot accommodate all pupils
qualifying under one of the criteria stated above,
the next criteria will also be applied to determine
priority for admission. For example, if a school cannot
accommodate all children resident within the catchment
area (criterion 3), the priority will be in the order of:
• Resident in the catchment area (criterion 3) attending
a feeder school (4) and living nearest to the school (5)
• Resident in the catchment area (criterion 3) not
attending a feeder school (4) and living nearest to the
school (5)
All applicants within each criterion will be put into a
distance order with priority being given to those that
live nearest to the school, as stated in criterion 5 above.
Where it is identified that there are a limited number
of places available and the Local Authority cannot
differentiate between the applications using the distance
criterion (criterion 5) a random allocation tiebreaker will
be applied. This may be required for example, where
applicants reside in the same block of flats.
Catchment Areas
Children are considered resident in the ‘catchment
area’ for a school under the Local Authority’s admission
arrangements if they and their parents are resident in
the area served by the school on the date published for
the receipt of supporting documentation. Supporting
information may be requested to verify the place of
residence. For children of UK service personnel (UK
Armed Forces) a Unit postal address or quartering
area address will be accepted in advance of removal
into the area, subject to official written confirmation
of the address and relocation date. Preferences for the
catchment area school for the confirmed address will be
considered under criterion 3, unless a higher criterion is
applicable. You can check your catchment area school
on our website at www.cheshireeast.gov.uk or by
contacting the Authority on 0300 123 5012. Please note:
we cannot guarantee places where ‘catchment area’ is
included as a criterion, however, you may wish to bear
in mind that if the school is oversubscribed and you do
not state a preference for it on your application form,
all available places may be offered to parents who have
applied for a place. Places will be offered on the basis
of the published oversubscription criteria and this can
result in an offer regardless of whether a child lives in the
catchment area.
You may wish to consider including your ‘catchment area’
school as one of your preferences just in case a higher
preference for another school is unsuccessful.
Default Definition
The following terms used throughout this booklet
are defined as follows, except where individual
arrangements spell out a different description. However,
where a definition is a legal requirement, it will apply
regardless of what is stated.
Additional/Supplementary Forms
All parents who list their preferred schools on the Local
Authority’s Common Application Form are regarded
as having made valid applications. An additional or
supplementary form may also have to be completed for
applicants considered under faith criteria of faith schools,
for boarding school and for selective schools.
Cared for Children’ and Children who were
Previously ‘Cared for’.
A ‘cared for child’ is a child who is in the care of a local
authority or provided with accommodation by that
authority (as defined in section 22 of the Children
Act 1989).
Children previously ‘cared for’ are children who were
‘cared for’ as defined above, but immediately after
being ‘cared for’ became subject to an adoption, child
arrangements order (formerly residence order) or special
guardianship order. A child arrangements order is an
31
order settling the arrangements to be made as to the
person with whom the child is to live under section 8 of
the Children Act 1989 amended by Children and Families
Act 2014. Section 14A of the Children Act 1989 defines a
‘special guardianship order’ as an order appointing one
or more individuals to be a child’s special guardian (or
special guardians).
Twins/Multiple Births
Please note: The law requires that all arrangements
give first priority to these children (see page 27).
All admission authorities must therefore adhere to
the legal requirement even if this is not stated in their
arrangements
SEN/EHCP Siblings
Children with Statements of Special Educational
Needs or Education Health Care Plans (EHCP)
Section 324 of the Education Act 1996 requires the
governing bodies of all maintained schools to admit a
child with a Statement of Special Educational Needs or
Education Health Care Plan that names their school.
In relation to children of multiple births, exceptionally
it may be necessary to offer places over the published
admission number. This is to ensure that, as far as
possible, siblings (i.e. twins, triplets or children from
other multiple births) can attend the same school.
Under exceptional circumstances, if a school is named
in the Statement for a child with Special Educational
Needs or Education, Health and Care Plan any siblings
(including twins or other children of multiple birth) will
be considered for admission in accordance with criterion
2 of the oversubscription criteria. This is to ensure
that siblings from a multiple birth can attend the
same school.
Distance
Pupils living nearest to the school measured using an
Ordnance Survey address-point system which measures
straight line distances in miles from address point of the
school to the address point of the place of residence.
Exceptionally, where residency addresses are outside
the UK and Ordnance Survey system cannot be used
as a measurement, then www.gridreferencefinder.com
will be used to plot latitude and longitude points and
calculate straight line distance.
Parents/Family Members
A parent is any person who has parental responsibility or
care of the child. Where admission arrangements refer to
‘parent’s attendance at church’ it is sufficient for just one
parent to attend. ‘Family members’ include only parents
and siblings.
Sibling
Sibling refers to pupils with brothers or sisters, foster
brothers or foster sisters, step-brothers or step-sisters,
half-brothers or half-sisters, adopted brothers or adopted
sisters living together as part of one household, already
attending the preferred school, and expected to
continue at the school in the following year.
32

arrangements, which include the oversubscription
criteria. The arrangements determined can be found on

Admissions Criteria
1. ‘Cared for Children’ and previously cared for children.
authority (as defined in section 22 of the Children
Act 1989).
being ‘cared for’ became subject to an adoption,
residence, or special guardianship order. An adoption
order is an order under section 46 of the Adoption
and Children Act 2002. A ‘residence order’ is an order
settling the arrangements to be made as to the person
with whom the child is to live under section 8 of the
Children Act 1989. Section 14A of the Children Act
1989 defines a ‘special guardianship order’ as an order
appointing one or more individuals to be a child’s
special guardian (or special guardians).
2. Children for whom there are particular medical or
social reasons which, in the Governing Body’s view,
justifies admission to a particular school. Supporting
evidence from a registered professional, such as a
medical practitioner, psychologist or social worker,
must be provided which sets out the particular reasons
why the school in question is the most suitable
school and the difficulties that would be caused if
the child had to attend another school. A panel will
consider the information presented and will determine
whether the evidence is sufficiently compelling to
apply this criterion to the application. The Governors,
if it is considered appropriate, will seek the views of
the School Doctor or Educational Psychologist in the
event of parents requesting admission on medical
or psychological grounds. This criterion cannot be
considered if the required documents have not been
received. Few applications fall within this category.
3. Siblings – pupils with elder brothers or sisters, step
brothers or step-sisters, half-brothers or half-sisters,
adopted brothers or adopted sisters living together as
part of one household, already attending the preferred
school (in years Reception through to Year 5) and
expected to continue at the school in the following
school year. (i.e. at the time of admission).
4. Children resident within the designated catchment
zone of the school. Children will be classed within this
category if they and their parents are resident within
the area served by the school on the closing date

application form.
7. Children resident outside the above mentioned
parishes; priority being decided on the basis of the

line using an Ordnance Survey address-point system
which measures straight line distances in miles from
place of residence those living nearest being given

Notes:
(a) Admission to the Reception Class takes place in
September. Children whose fifth birthday occurs
between 1 September 2015 and the last day of
August 2016 will commence school in September
2015. The Admission Limit (Published Admission
Number) is 30 in the Reception Class, Year One and
Year Two.
(b) Parents may request the governors to consider
deferring their child’s admission to the Reception
class until January 2016. But you must reserve your
place for the 2015/16 school year.
(c) Admission to the Reception Classes may be phased to
include part-time attendance for a short introductory
period for one week. Details of these arrangements
will be supplied to parents prior to their children
commencing full time schooling.
(d) “Resident” refers to the child’s permanent home at
the proposed date of admission. The Governors may
seek proof of a child’s address. The address used on
the school’s admission form must be the current one
at the time of application. If the address changes
subsequently, the parents should notify the school.
Where the parents live at different addresses, the
current-at-the-time-of-application, normal address of
the child will be the one used. This will normally be
the one where the child wakes up for the majority of
Monday to Friday mornings. Parents may be asked
to show evidence of the claim that is being made
for the address, e.g. documentation of various sorts
showing the child’s address as the one claimed.
Where there is dispute about the correct address to
use, the governors reserve the right to make enquiries
of any relevant third parties. For children of UK Service
personnel and other Crown Servants returning to the
area proof of the posting is all that is required.
(e) “Sibling” means a brother or sister, or a step brother,
step sister or other child normally resident at the same
address, prior to the date of application and up to the
date of admission.
(f ) “Faithful and Regular worship” is to be understood as
at least once a month for the previous six months.
(g) In the event of oversubscription for places each of
the criteria will be applied in order of priority. In the
event of the school being unable to accommodate all
applicants from a particular category priority will be
given to the applicants who live closest to the school
measured by a straight line distance from school to
the home address.
(h) Where there are extenuating circumstances for an
application being received after the last date for
applications, and it is before the governors have
established their list of pupils to be admitted, then it
will be considered alongside all the others. Otherwise,
applications which are received after the last date will
be considered after all the others, and placed on the
waiting list in order according to the criteria.
(i) Where there are more applications than places, the
admissions criteria will be used. Children who are not
admitted will have their name placed on a waiting
list. The names on this waiting list will be in the order
resulting from the application of the admissions
criteria. This waiting list will operate until the end of
the autumn term.
(j) W
here the governors are unable to offer a place
because the school is over subscribed, parents have
the right to appeal to an independent admission
appeal panel, set up under the School Standards
and Framework Act, 1998, as amended by the
Education Act, 2002. Parents should notify the clerk
to the governors at the school within 20 days of
receiving the letter refusing a place. Parents will have
the opportunity to submit their case to the panel in
writing and also to attend in order to present their
case. Parents will normally receive 14 days’ notice of
the place and time of the hearing (please refer to
school for more information about appeals).
(k) Where the governing body discovers that a child has
been awarded a place as the result of an intentionally
misleading application from a parent (for example a
false claim to residence in the catchment area or of
involvement in a place of worship) which effectively
denies a place to a child with a stronger claim, then
47
the governing body is required to withdraw the offer
of the place. The application will be considered afresh
and a right of appeal offered if a place is refused.
(l) Where there are siblings of a multiple birth wanting
admission and there is only a single place left within
the admission number, then the governing body
will exercise as much flexibility as possible within
the requirements of infant class sizes and may admit
above 30 if it is appropriate to do so.
(m) At this school there is a Nursery for pre-school age
children. However, admission to the Nursery does
not guarantee a place at our school.

priority will be given on the basis of distance from
home to school. Distance will be measured in a
straight line from the front door of the child’s home
address (including the community entrance to flats)
to the main entrance of the school using the Local
Authority’s computerised measuring system with
those living nearer to the school having priority. In
the event of distances being the same for 2 or more

provided by the Local Authority for admissions purposes.
In a very small number of cases it may not be able to
decide between the applicants of those pupils who
are qualifiers for a place, when applying the published
admission criteria.
For example, this may occur when children in the same
year group live at the same address, or if the distance
between the home and school is exactly the same,
for example, blocks of flats. If there is no other way of
separating the application according to the admissions
criteria and to admit both or all of the children would
cause the legal limit to be exceeded, the governing body
will arrange for the local authority to randomly select the
child to be offered the final place.

Needs that names the school must be admitted.
This will reduce the number of places available to

for special medical or social circumstances. Such
evidence must set out the particular reasons why
this school is the most suitable school given those
difficulties.
(f ) The home address of a pupil is considered to be the
permanent residence of a child. The address must
be the child’s only or main residence for the majority
of the school week. Documentary evidence may

applications, and it is before the governors have
established their list of pupils to be admitted,
then it will be considered alongside all the others.
Otherwise, applications which are received after the
last date will be considered after all the others, and
placed on the waiting list in order according to
the criteria.
(h) Where there are more applications than places, the
admissions criteria will be used. Children who are not
admitted will have their name placed on a waiting
list. The names on this waiting list will be in the order
resulting from the application of the admissions
criteria. This waiting list will operate until the end of
the autumn term.
